Using the Table of Standard Reduction Potentials below, calculate the standard cell potential, E'cell, for the following redox reaction and determine whether this reaction is spontaneous as written under the standard conditions:
Cu(s) + Ni2+(aq) -> Cu2+(aq) + Ni(s)
Ecell = [Fill in the blank by entering the number with sign only. Report with 2 digits after the decimal point]
Is the reaction spontaneous? [Fill in the blank by entering Yes or No only].
